If you want a mystery full of situational laughter, this is perfect! Youdon't need to have read others in the series, but you probably will afterreading this one. Laurel operates the Witch Woods Funeral Home in smalltown eastern Australia, and she can see and talk to ghosts as does herboyfriend Basil. Her mother is best known for her criticisms and fanaticreligiosity which she shares with her much younger friend Ian at everyonethey meet. Now enters the ghost of recently murdered Jezza Belle, a punkrocker who becomes so incensed with the mother that she slips in and takesher over. You can see the potential here, but not the insane situationsthat arise as Laurel and Jezza Belle investigate all the suspects andfollow the leads and red herrings.

The Witch Wood Funeral Home, the business that Laurel inherited from her father has always been like no other funeral home you might have experienced. Laurel has a ghost resident named Ernie and has been known to hold “theme” funerals much to her mother Thelma’s dismay.

So when approached to hold the funeral of punk rock band leader, Jezza-Belle, Laurel made all the arrangements. What Laurel was not prepared for was when Jezza-Belle possessed her mother, Thelma. As we have learned from previous books, Thelma is a church going gospel spreading individual. Ian her constant partner is always trying to spread the gospel. So be prepared to laugh out loud with the antics of Jezza-Belle possessing Thelma.

Basil, the accountant and boyfriend of Laurel along with his two sheep, Arthur and Martha and her friend Tara all make up this funny story while trying to solve the mystery of who murdered Jezza-Belle.

You will find yourself laughing and thinking omg what would I do if I encountered this

Oh my goodness... I loved it! This book had me CRYING with laughter, but I had to keep reading through the tears because I was racing to get to the end to find out who the murderer was. It kept me guessing all the way through and I had such a great time trying to figure out who the culprit was. Plus Thelma being possessed by a punk rocker is about the best thing you could imagine - I can't think of anyone more deserving of such a fate! Oh, and Basil was lovely, as always. ;)

If you've started the series already, you're in for another treat, and if you haven't, what are you waiting for? You won't regret it.

Perfect for paranormal cozy mystery fans who like a good dose of humour in their novels.

To carry out the wishes of her father when she discovers her mother trying to get the world to repent and Ernie the ghost in residence at the funeral home. She tends to find herself solving murders of her newest clients, if she can keep her eccentric mom from ruining her business. Delightful series, hope to see more.

The author had a lot of fun with possessed Thelma and so did I. At first I thought the spirit would be completely intolerable but she turned out okay. She's very different from Thelma so that made it funny. Ian is so weird. I can't stand him but I always love to see exactly how annoying and insufferable he can get. It was great to see Laurel back in action. I only wished Basil could be more a part of things. He doesn't get to show much of his personality in his book. But he has some funny lines.
